Hello Earth
Greetings from Endeavour
Worden, Alfred M. (NASA Astronaut)
First Edition, signed by the author NASA Astronaut Alfred M. Worden. Throughout history man has speculated about life on the moon, but not until now has he been able to travel to the moon and speculate about life on earth! What is it like to travel over a million miles in space, to view the entire earth äs a small floating sphere in an immense universe? Alfred M. Worden was the pilot of Endeavour, the command-module for the Apollo 15 mission in 1971. During the nearly 67 hours his fellow astronauts Scott and Irwin were on the moon, he was in complete solitude, floating in space. The overwhelming experienoe of being alone in the universe gave him a profound feeling of rejuvenation. That expenence changed his life. Full of insight, these remarkable poems reveal the feeling man behind the astronaut Image. Worden writes of rebirth at 39, of religious expenence, the bitterness of public hero-worship, the loss of love, the incomparable joy of voyaging in space, and now the immensity of his solitude and distance from homemade global arguments and politics seem trivial. Indeed, Worden's experience has changed his entire view of reality on earth, and he shares it beautifully in Hello Earth - Greetings from Endeavour. ALFRED M. WORDEN was born in Jackson, Michigan. He is a graduate of the U.S, Military Academy and holds two M. S. degrees and an honorary Doctorate of Astronautical Science from the University of Michigan. He is the recipient of numerous medals and honors and is a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. As a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Air Force on active duty with NASA, Worden was one of 19 astronauts selected in 1966, He was command-module pilot for Apollo 15 in 1971 and is currently a senior aerospace scientist with the NASA-Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, California.
